Are you a Logistics business looking to upgrade from legacy, vulnerable and complex?
Where do you start?
Firstly, get started.
When it comes to making the most impact while supporting business-critical needs you need to focus on operational impact, technical impact, and daily activity.
You need to ask questions like:
How does your business operate?
What do you do well?
Where are you struggling?
What are the technical hurdles holding you back?
What is the operational impact of making these changes?
What is the technical impact from a performance and security perspective?
A few things to look for:
Optimise the basics and do them well
What are your customer demands from your service?
Where is legacy technology holding your capability back?
What modern technologies are being adopted by leaders in the industry?
Prioritise solving any big vulnerabilities in your current operations that will impact your ability to operate.
Then look at your employee's roles and look to resolve any restrictors that are holding them back from operating efficiently.
Then look to deliver a forward-looking strategy to reduce reliance on legacy technology and move to meet consumer demands. While doing this you will increase your capability and become more competitive by implementing innovative technology that supports your business needs.
